Workshops
- New TA Introductory Training
If you have a student who has never been a TA before, this one-hour workshop is a great way to get them going by introducing them to working with faculty, returning & reporting, taking initiative, and maintaining confidentiality as they grade student work and keep records. - I-Learn TA Training
This one-hour session aids your teaching assistants in grasping the technicalities of I-learn. They will learn how to efficiently navigate, troubleshoot, and support the learning environment you have created in your I-learn course. - Writing Evaluation TA Training
In a series of online and face-to-face sessions, teaching assistants will be trained to assist faculty in evaluating writing. These sessions will include watching video instruction from faculty on writing, participating in a student-led workshop on rubrics in evaluating writing, and completing grammar diagnostic quizzes and reviewing (if necessary) relevant rules.
